The Patch tour was a blast! a big thanks to the SNGPG for hosting it, and everyone who helped make it a great day! It's great to be able to hear what other growers attending the tour were doing in their patch, and to see what the big guns are doing in theirs.
A special thanks to Ken D and his family for putting up with us for an hr or so...lol
Thanks for everything guys!

I had a great time while I was in the New England area. Spent some time with Norm on friday morning he is a great guy, then headed up to Maine to hang with Bill and Buzz for a while. Saturday I went to the home of Big Pumpkins to see Kens big one man what a fruit. I'm pulling for ya Ken. Saturday evening dinner with Tom, Kim, Pete and his wife was a good time. The SNGPG tour/picnic topped the weekend off with an outstanding job on sunday. Thanks for a great weekend.
